YONKERS, NY, Friday, December 15, 2017—As
part of Yonkers Raceway’s season-ending program Sunday afternoon (Dec. 17th),
the Pick 5 has a mandatory payout.
The 50-cent base wager gimmick (races 7
through 11) normally requires all five winners to get paid, with no
consolation. However, since state law prohibits pools from being carried over
into a new year, Sunday’s Pick 5 becomes a ‘must pay’ proposition.
First post Sunday is 11:30 AM, with the
Pick 5 wager set to begin at 2 PM.
Yonkers’ 2018 live season is scheduled to
get underway with a matinee Sunday, Jan. 7th (post time TBA),
pending approval of the New York State Gaming Commission.
